Whitney Rose Ups the Retro Vibes in New Video for ‘Can’t Stop Shakin”

Bobby Moore

Austin-based, Canadian-born country music revivalistWhitney Rosecelebrates classic go-go girl style in her new music video for “Can’t Stop Shakin’.” The cut from one of 2017’s most overlooked albums, Rule 62, proves that Rose’s knack for revitalizing past sounds while remaining forward-thinking extends to old-time rock ‘n’ roll.

While a lot of nods to past decades feel campy and forced, Rose’s normal big hair and vintage outfit look make it easier than usual to suspend disbelief. Rockabilly singer Jolie Goodnight, burlesque dancer Frostine Shake and pinup model Ruby Joulie also pull off their looks and dance moves without a hitch. It’s a case of four women with retro and subcultural interests that suit the director’s vision. No pantomiming necessary.

The song itself displays Rose’s varied talents and broad musical vision. She can pay tribute to her favorite rock records just as easily as she can write and perform a country ballad as powerful as the best 2017 song you’re probably overlooking, “Trucker’s Funeral.”
